Finally, the temps feel like Spring as 2016's first Honey Bee (for me) visits an awakening Grecian Wildflower in my garden.
I bought a little hot shoe astrotracer for my camera and thought I would try it out before I find a real Milky Way to shoot.
It moves the sensor in the camera using a GPS signal and moves the sensor along with the movement of the stars allowing for long exposures without star trails. This way you can lower the ISO on the camera to prevent noise. It seemed to work pretty well but does blur the foreground so that needed to be masked in separately.
I thought I would do some light painting of the tree so you could actually see it.
Gawdy Sensor Ship
Plenty of sensors on this one including those ostentatious radars, a spinny round thing and a non-spinny round thing. All a little overblown?

The incredible combination of a modern small smartphone sensor from a 3x camera module (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) in combination with Lightrooms AI denoise feature (or the one from Camera RAW in Photoshop or Bridge)
Just look at the parasols in the background
No Sensor Ship
No sensors or modern equipment showing on this one

For the Macro Mondays Theme: "Photography Gear"
WARNING: Don't try this at home!!!
Note: No real harm was done and the sensor and camera survived the (photoshop) experiment without any scratch or (water)damage 😉 Thanks for your concerns...
Thank you very much for your time, faves and comments. It's much appreciated.
Happy Macro Mondays
Nothing crazy, just had the need to do something colorful, so after some month, I started my new school IR VM again.
This is from a long walk in March, 550nm handheld only, after the cold second half of April, it was just getting warm, trees starting to produce leaves, ..and the whole summer still ahead, *sigh*. Nature was radiant (in IR).

Wandering around Desert Botanical Garden the other night, I got this photo of the Crested Saguaro. Turned out ok for a handheld.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

Thanks to Ryan Parra for his mentorship on night shots. www.ryanparra.com/ I wish I had a headlamp so I could have changed my L bracket on my tripod instead of handholding this shot. Best viewed large, even at ISO 10000. Just glad I had no dust on my sensor.

#12 on Explore on 4.18.09! Wow that's my best yet! Thanks so much everyone!! :D
So that dark spot above the headlands, I thought this was dust on my sensor, but found it was a cloud that moved and dissipated throughout my set of photos.
This is a three shot pano from a hike this morning in the hills above Crockett, California.
Heading out the door I grabbed the D500 for a change. I'm noticing how much noise is in this image. This is where a full frame sensor shines, in low light, there would be considerably less noise using the larger sensor. If there was any one thing I noticed when I bought my full frame body, it is the level of noise in low light situations, and I'm not knocking the D500 as this is my go to birding gear at 9 fps right out of the box.
This is shot using the Nikon 50mm f/1.4. Stitched together in ACR, added tonal contrast with the Nik Efex plug-in.
Thanks for looking.
Contrasting colours. The sensor is sensitive to red, so you would normally reduce the saturation, but I left it as the camera setting, looks a bit strong, but a great impact, I think!.
The 1/2.5" sensor of the Canon PowerShot SD630 I am trying to repair. The gears look ok and I got the lens retracted. I'll try putting it back together tomorrow and see if it works. Wish me luck.
The Mercury transit is underway! Here's my first result, from a Canon EOS 70D and 70-300mm lens (480mm equivalent). Mercury is the small dark spot near the bottom, the dark spot towards the top is massive sunspot!
Notes on my setup here:
www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/2016/05/09/mercury-t...
This image, like the Venus transit ones, really highlights how most solar system models used in classrooms are "not to scale". The sun is massive compared to the planets!
Note: Don't look at or photograph the sun without proper eye protection and a solar filter to protect the camera sensor!
Just a quick little doodle.
Wheel-inside-basketball-hoop joint's are totally Tobyhein's idea, I just kinda lifted it.

This is an other picture of our new campaign for next summer.
I took it last week at the upper terrace which is on the top of our office in Varanasi (Benaras).
Anand who is our favourite model is holding a cushion in white linen with an embroidery made of flowers and swirls and matching with the throw in the background.
